Well, if those are the 2 wheels that you're interested in, then I would go with the chrome one. Looks nice .

#1 of the three. I really like the 18" wheels on the G35Cs 6MT, though.

Hehehe, yeah, I am more of the "function over form" school of thought. If the chrome one is the same weight as or lighter than your stock rims, then I would go for it.

Both look good. The chrome one is more "bling bling" though.
If i had to choose one, i would go with the chrome ones, though not a big fan of chrome.

I'd go with the chrome. I think they're less busy-looking, and I'm not a fan of gun-metal.

thanx for your opinion i thought that it was for car enthusiasts. my bad. to anyone else that i offended, i am sorry for asking for opinions on a car other than a Z. no matter how closely related........

i am the same way. but they are multi-piece JDM wheels, so the weight isnt that big of an issue. i love the stock wheels, but they are just that.........stock. guess i just want the car to stand out alittle more. self-centered bastard that i am

Did you consider chroming the stock 18" G wheels? They are a great fit for the car. They don't have lips though and if that's where you are headed I would go with #3.

I have a near match for your G Doc, and look forward to pics of the completed transformation.

thanx rod. the wheels on numbers 1 and 2 are the zauber gettins. a friend of mine has a set on his GS4. 10" wide with a 4" lip





i love the lip action but you can get some pretty good numbers with the Rozza's as well. i just dont think its 4"

i have seen some of the 18's in chrome and they dont look right in my opinion. truth to tell, im not a big fan of chrome. and yes, i am all about the lip

def 19's. and both of the wheels go up to that. the gettins actually go to 20's
